STRIKE-MINDED W. S. C. STUDENTS
DELAY STRIKE SET FOR TODAY
PULLMAN, May 6. (U.R)—Three
thousand strike-minded Washington State college students today
gave the college administration
"one more chance" to meet their
demands for student liberties and
alteration of class attendance regulations before striking and picketing classrooms.
A committee of 12 from the Students' Liberty association was to
meet this afternoon with from
seven to nine faculty members in
an attempt to reach terms. The
students demanded that all of their
11 reforms be put immediately into
Only the oratory of Chairman
Robert Yothers, Wenatchee, prevented a Wednesday strike vote at
an excited mass meeting last night
after Dr. Ernest O. Holland, president of the college, had granted the
student arbitration committee only
one of its major demands—publication of regulations governing
student morals and social activities.
Yothers, joined by Charles Mc-
Bride, Puyallup, football star;
Jerry Safe, Spokane, committeeman; and Margaret Barrie, Walla
Walla, president of the Associated
Women Students, carried the meeting and postponed the strike for 24
hours. The student committee was
given a vote of confidence.
Representative Clem Gardner,
state legislator, spoke at the mass
meeting and gave his endorsement
to the movement.
